Upgrade thoughts?

[Devlish]

OK, seen as how im a tad disappointed with the 6990', thought i might as well blow some cash anyway and this is about my limit. Figured I would get a bundle and a 6950 and flash the bios. Then at a later date get in another 6950 (or by then probably a 6970) for crossfire. Upgrading from the spec in sig. Im a bit concerned about everything fitting into my Antec 300? will have to do some research.

Any thoughts, suggestions before i press the buy button?

Thanks for the comments - ive got a couple of SSDs so thats a great idea Redmint.

But now youve put some thoughts in my head! Would the card be able to run three of these for mid-table gaming - mmos and FPS mostly?

Theyre relatively cheapo, bringing the total to about £1150. I'd be willing to take the huge amount of flak from the mrs so i could sit there and cackle all night long in eyefinity.
